INSUFFICIENT LEANING

Is it true that the Nord Stream pipelines caused environmental damage in the Baltic Sea?
Unclear. Several sources confirm that the 2022 explosions released large quantities of methane into the Baltic Sea, and one study assesses environmental consequences for Baltic biota. None of the placed items quantifies or definitively establishes the overall environmental damage the claim asserts.
